Default 28 ss Questions

I am looking at a number of 28ss( . . . 's?), some with small blocks and some with big blocks. I was curious if anyone out there had a 28 and wanted to know what their thoughts on the boaty were. Also, if anyone has air in one, is it worth the chips? Sonic has a '93 on their web site that looks nice, but cannot seem to get ahold of anyone to talk about it. At any rate, let me know if anyone has comment.

I have a 1999 28 with twin 350's and Bravo drives. It is also for sale. If you are interested call me and I can talk with you. 571-220-2656. Sonic is a wonderful manufacture.

I looked at Atomic's 28SS when I was searching earlier this year. The boat is in great shape.

Hey Weas'
In a 28SS, the preferred power package would probably be like Atomic's(350Mag MPI's bravo) or the 6.2MX bravo package. A little less weight w/ equivalent
hp as compared to the base 454's.
I've seen a couple w/AC, but you'll have to decide how much time you are going to spend in the cabin, hooked up to shore power, to take advantage of the option.

Last year when I was shopping for a boat it came down to a Donzi 26ZX or the Prowler. I knew I could not go wrong with either. Now I want something a little bigger and am thinking about a 28ss with the small blocks in it. Obviously I would like to be shopping for a 31 but due to parking accomadations and wife in school will have to wait a few years. Wanted to know what kind of speeds with a normal load I could see with the 28?? I would look at the prowler again but since I have the same size boat now with the 26ZX kind of hard to see moving that way which is why I am thinking about the 28. Always go bigger right

Olemiss...

IMHO, it is not worth upgrading for two feet. The 28SS is a GREAT boat, but wait and go for the 31SS in 2 seasons, and you will not be disappointed. The 31SS is in a whole new league, giving you what others i.e. Fountain have to offer in the 32-35 range. You can always find a place to park.
